LAD-LAX, Left atrial diameter measured on the right parasternal long-axis four-chamber view; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVVd, diastolic left ventricular volume, calculated using Simpson's rule and indexed to body weight; LVVs, systolic left ventricular volume, calculated using Simpson's rule and indexed to body weight; ref int, reference interval.

Initial evaluation due to syncopal third-degree AV block, immediately followed by pacemaker implantation.

Tachycardia diagnosed.
